The freshman track and field team competed at Blue Valley West on Thursday, March 23 to participate in its first ever freshman-only meet. The team placed second overall at the meet with six top placers in individual events.

The reason behind competing at a freshman only meet, according to Freshman Travis Babcock, is that it’s good experience for future track meets.

“All of the athletes who competed at this meet have never done a high school track meet, Babcock said, “so for us it’s a good way to get used to upcoming meets that are more competitive.”
